The changing lines of hexagram 61
| Line | Chinese | Legge |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 得敵，或鼓或罷，或泣或歌。 | The third line, divided, shows its subject having met with his mate. Now he beats his drum, and now he leaves off. Now he weeps, and now he sings. |
| 4 | 月既望，馬匹亡，无咎。 | The fourth line, divided, shows its subject (like) the moon nearly full, and (like) a horse (in a chariot) whose fellow disappears. There will be no error. |
| 5 | 有孚攣如，无咎。 | The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject perfectly sincere, and linking (others) to him in closest union. There will be no error. |
